Default Found very small flanged sleeve or bushing?

Late model 84 xlx Was tilting engine to both sides. Found a tiny brass or bronze bushing or sleeve that is flanged on one side. On the ground afterward. Neither side cover was on so not sure where it came from can anyone tell me please.

If it is then I don't know how it could've fell out of the case but might've? I'll have to wait till I get a puller so I can reach and remove the trap door or split the case again, to see if that was it, can't find anywhere else though so high possibility that's where its from.Thank you

That bushing looks similar to the bushings (2) in my jiffy stand pivot. 2020 soft tail. Did you recently remove your jiffy stand?

@Lammy1000 no I haven't and it definitely came out of the case somewhere. Engines removed out of frame and away from it.

I agree with 88, it would have been my guess but he beat me to it.

Thank you. Still wondering how this would've fallen out of the case of its inside, then again who knows it had a blown trans and I had to replace the right side case, but this piece was not anywhere to be found until way after I put the halves together and wasn't in the same area when I did, it just showed up after I had the engine on its llsides without the covers on either side. Strange.
